APPRAISAL

This retention is based on the administrative needs of the bureau. In court cases, the actual original document is frequently called upon to verify a stream flow. This retention allows for the six year statute of limitations period (UCA 78-12-24). Recorder charts may be very useful in determining actual water flows for historical research but are very technical to read.
